Trump has spent much of his young presidency's photo-ops seemingly attempting to literally pull concessions out of his foreign counterparts, stretching elbows and triggering some grimaces along the way.

Anat Ben Nun said that the new U.S. administration's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains unclear.

Mr Khan previously said that Mr Trump was wrong about " many things" and that his state visit should not go ahead .
